Ramakrishna Kotla, a computer engineering doctoral candidate, with Computer Science Associate Professors Lorenzo Alvisi and Mike Dahlin, received the Best Paper Award at the USENIX Advanced Computing Systems Association annual technical conference.  The paper, titled “SafeStore: A Durable and Practical Storage System”, focuses on their ‘SafeStore’ storage system which protects long-term data storage from hackers, human error, hardware / software failures, and environmental catastrophes.  This new storage system architecture ensures that duplicate data being stored at different locations is durable, cost effective, readily available, and audited for data loss.
